What do you do for a living?
- I am an estate agent at Skandiamäklarna in Linköping and I am very happy there. It is a stimulating working environment with very fun working tasks. Considering the fact that I have wanted to be an estate agent since I was 15 years old, this feels like a dream come true.

Digital inequalities in the framework of health and social welfare services. The case of older Russian-speakers in Finland
Digital information and communication technologies are becoming increasingly important for public administration of welfare states. Due to enthusiastic digitalisation projects, many welfare state services have rapidly become ‘digital by default’.
Our research explores the social dynamics of political and economic inclusion and exclusion. Racism, as an ideology and everyday practice, constitutes an integral part of this focus, as do discourses on cultural values in contemporary processes of both conflict and convivial coexistence.
Lotta Braunerhielm, project manager for ”Digitisation and the Tourism Industry” and assistant professor in Human Geography, informed about a new project aiming to increase the knowledge about and promoting place-related experiences through digital solutions.

Social media has helped normalise the far right. The algorithms amplify and advance strong feelings and opinions and turn us all into consumers of extreme views. This has been identified in Enjoying the Fall, a new doctoral thesis at Karlstad University by Pasko Kisić-Merino.
– One example is how the idea of “the immigrant”, in particular the male immigrant, is constantly being connected to violence, criminality, and genderphobia at the hands of the far-right.
